Chapter 30: Acquaintances
Now that the children have been found, all that remains is to pick the streamer grass.
But a new problem has emerged.
At that time, they fell from the ground of the Black Jade Forest because of cracking. But after falling, it does not look like a dark underground, but a space with sunlight, wind, streams and trees, and when you look up, you can't see the top, only the clear sky and the sun like the outside world.
Qin Hao proposed to check on the place where they fell first, looking for clues to leave, so the few people returned to the stream where Qin Hao fell first.
But except for the blood stains left by her under the tree where Qin Zhen rested, everything was very normal, and there was no problem anymore.
And the three children were still young, and they were frightened one after another, and their mental and physical strength were not enough to support them to continue to explore together.
So after Qin Zhen discussed with Ye Yousheng and Yin Huan, it was decided that Qin Zhen would stay here to accompany the children, and the two of them would go up the cliff to the place where Yin Huan fell.
"Good sister...... Can we still get out? Wenwen leaned against Qin Zhen's side, her eyes were so sleepy that she couldn't open them, but thinking that she might never see her father and mother again, her fingers were still tightly gripping Qin Zhen's sleeve.
"Well, we'll find a way out." Qin Zhen took the other two children in her arms and said softly, "Let's get a good night's sleep now." ”
She thought about asking these children at first, after all, it was the demon beast that brought them to this place, and they didn't have to fall from the pit like she and Yin Huan, maybe they could find a way to leave from their descriptions.
But although they didn't seem to be crying all the time, as long as they mentioned the demon beasts a little, the children's faces turned pale instantly, and presumably for them, such an encounter was still not easy to accept.
If you ask too much, you are forcing them to recall them, and I am afraid that it will leave them with an indelible psychological shadow. So, don't force them until you have to.
Qin Zhen watched them close their eyes, their breathing gradually falling asleep steadily, and then withdrew the sun that had been patting their hands and raising their gaze to the sky.
It's underground, and there's no sun, but that's how it appears, and the light is blinding but you can't feel the temperature.
Qin Hao was very concerned about this sun, and she suspected that the first time she entered the illusion realm, she was disturbed by it. But for now, she has no ability to investigate the sun, so she can only put this matter on hold for the time being.
The jade handle of communication in his arms rang.
Qin Zhen took it out and saw that it was Ye Yousheng who sent a message.
"Senior sister, we have found a way, but there is a situation, I will come down to find you."
When he saw Ye Yousheng, he looked a little disordered, and he was still holding a sword in his hand.
"What's wrong? Is there a monster again? Qin Hao asked.
For Ye Yousheng, even if he has no spiritual power, going up and down the cliff is not a problem, only if he has fought, it can only be like this.
Ye Yousheng nodded: "After Yin Huan and I went up, we saw two monks fighting together, and the trembling sound that Yin Huan heard before came from them. ”
As he spoke, he gently hugged the two children, and motioned for Qin Hao to put the last child on his back.
"Among them, there is a monk named Tang Yan, who was a disciple of the Imperial Fire Sect who fought with me in the 'Battle of Geniuses' before, senior sister, you didn't come at the time, you shouldn't know him."
He paused at this point.
Qin Zhen recalled the schedule he had seen, and there was indeed an opponent named "Tang Yan" on it, who was an outer disciple who had just been recruited by the Imperial Fire Sect a few years ago, and his strength was average.
"The one who fought with him was a female monk, who shot quickly, but she didn't seem to want Tang Yan's life, it seemed that she was just trying to get something back. Then when we passed, she had just caught Tang Yan, but Tang Yan saw me and shouted at me for help, and the friar thought we were in a gang and fought with me. ”
"In the end, it was Yin Huan who stopped her, and after explaining the situation clearly, she said that she had a way to get out of here, but the request was that Tang Yan return the things to her, and Tang Yan was explaining to her."
"I'll let Yin Huan stay there, and I'll come back to you first."
Ye Yousheng explained everything clearly.
"Okay." Qin Zhen didn't say anything, just helped the child on Ye Yousheng's back and walked up the mountain road with him.
Why do the disciples of the Imperial Fire Gate appear here? He had only fought with Ye Yousheng once, how could he ask Ye Yousheng for help in such a non-fatal situation? Is it closing the distance?
And obviously he can explain it himself, why did he wait until Ye Yousheng stopped him?
Qin Hao couldn't help but think about the worst-case scenario, if she stopped being vigilant and didn't think like this, then her current situation would not be much better than those enslaved mortals.
"How did you feel after playing him? He came from a large sect, and although he was a disciple of an outer sect, he could also practice exercises that were not available outside. Qin Hao asked.
Ye Yousheng thought about it for a while: "I only made one sword, and he was eliminated, so I don't know what his strength is." It's just that he seems to be very excited to fight me, and I thought he was very strong and wanted to fight with me, but I didn't expect to win so easily. ”
Qin Hao didn't speak again.
Anyway, no matter what, it's better to beware of this Tang Yan first and be careful.
Because they were carrying three small children, it took a lot of effort for the two to reach the top of the cliff.
"You're here." Seeing them coming, Yin Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
After Qin Zhen put a sleeping talisman on the three children to make sure that they would not be woken up, she looked at the two monks, but at this glance, she found that the female monk was still an acquaintance.
The female monk also saw Qin Zhen and frowned: "It's you?" ”
This acquaintance is Cao Lingyan, who has promised Qin Zhen that there are still a few materials to be used to arrange the teleportation array, and the merchant who is usually responsible for supplying them with materials, because of the theft of Qianyuanzong, has now been taken away by Qianyuanzong at a large price to save the loss.
And Qiu Sixian has been very busy recently, and she doesn't know what she is busy with, so she can only hand over the matter of completing the materials to her, which is why she came here all the way from Xingzhou.
Finally found all the materials, but she passed by the Black Jade Forest, and happened to see a demon beast grabbing the child and running into the Black Jade Forest, so she chased after it.
But she didn't know much about the Black Jade Forest, and as soon as she entered the forest, she lost her spiritual power, and there was no other way to track it, so she got lost in the forest.
As a result, the plants in the forest became agitated for some reason, and attacked her, and in a hurry, her bag containing the materials fell out.
When she found it back, she only saw Tang Yan passing by, but the storage bag was gone, and she was about to go up to stop Tang Yan, but the ground suddenly cracked, and she and Tang Yan fell down together.
After falling, before Tang Yan was caught, he saw a monk coming over again, and Tang Yan still knew him. She thought she was an accomplice, so she decided to subdue this one who seemed to be more combat-ready first.
Later, after being stopped by the female monk, she stopped for a while, and saw Qin Zhen coming.
"Cao Daoyou." Qin Hao nodded at her.
"Senior sister, do you know each other?" Ye Yousheng looked at Qin Hao suspiciously. How did the senior sister have other monks he knew when he didn't know?
"This is the companion of Qiu Daoyou who used the teleportation array to take us to the ancient monument at that time." Qin Hao explained simply, "So, what's going on?" ”
Tang Yan, who fell to the ground, saw Qin Hao's cold eyes staring straight at him, and secretly said that it was not good, so he hurriedly shouted: "I really didn't take it, I just happened to pass by there, and I didn't see this Cao Daoyou's storage bag." ”
He just listened to the instructions of the door master and quietly followed behind Ye Yousheng and Qin Zhen, wanting to see what they were going to do. Originally, he would not have been discovered, but he was entangled by this friar and forced to be exposed from the shadows.
"Then why didn't you make it clear in the first place?" Cao Lingyan's sword was still around his neck.
Tang Yan smiled bitterly: "My cultivation is not high, and I was scared after I strayed here, and suddenly I saw you rushing over with a sword, I was scared half to death, where did I think of talking." ”
Cao Lingyan took the sword back suspiciously.
She could see that this person's cultivation was indeed not high, and what she said was barely a reason. And she had also tried to sense the imprint left on the storage bag, but she didn't know if it was because she didn't have spiritual power, or if it was really not on his body, and she didn't feel the traces of the imprint from him.
But the way to get out is only she here, as long as she looks at this person, and as soon as she goes out to recover her spiritual power, she will take him and check it again. If it wasn't him, she would apologize to him.
Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground and ran to Ye Yousheng's side, and shook his hand excitedly: "I really didn't expect to see Ye Daoyou here, thanks to Ye Daoyou, otherwise I wouldn't even have a chance to explain." ”
"I didn't help you with anything?" Ye Yousheng said strangely.
“…… I still thank Ye Daoyou for stopping it, I don't have anything to repay Ye Daoyou now, it's better to wait for me to visit another day, and then send a congratulatory gift to Ye Daoyou. Tang Yan's eyes were sincere.
Ye Yousheng looked at Qin Zhen in embarrassment.
Senior Sister doesn't like these disciples of big sects to go to their sect, he can't make decisions on this matter, let's see what Senior Sister thinks.
"Ah Sheng," Qin Hao said with a smile, "Since this fellow Daoist has a heart, we also welcome him over, you can make an appointment with him." ”
Ye Yousheng couldn't understand how Qin Hao's attitude had changed, but he still took out the communication jade handle and exchanged the communication mark with Tang Yan, who was happy.
Tang Yan didn't expect Qin Zhen to agree like this, his face was still happy, but his heart was vigilant. But he doesn't need to be in a hurry, as long as he keeps the most suspicious appearance, he doesn't do anything, but in the end, he is the most suspicious.
